. ToaZZ whom it may concern."

Be it known that I, Jomcs Ro'nvnn, a citi zen of the United States, anda resident of the city of NewYork, county of Queens, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Spring-Bed Covers ofwhich the following is a full, clear, an exact description. My inventionrelates to improvements in covers for spring beds, and the object of myinvention is to produce a simple, inexpensive and attractive cover whichcan be conveniently applied to a spring bed whether the V spring bedisa' box spring or otherwise, and

which will give to any pring to which it is applicable the appearance 0a box spring. My invention is also intended to produce a cover which canbe easily applied, and which has resilient or elastic portions along itssides or ends which cause it to draw snu to the sides of the spring bedand so nicely, and at .the same time permit it to adjust itself to anyslight irregularities of the bed. Another object of my invention is toproduce a cover which can be laidout flat so that it can be washedeasily and as easily ironed, 'andfurther toconstruct the cover so thatall the-'fastenings, which are preferably buttons, will be concealedwhen the cover'is attached to the spring bed, thus giving it-the ing oneend of the cover with the main flap with the elastic section inturned upand place. 7

4 is a detail of an elastic section whic can-be used on one of thesides, preferably one of the end sides of the cover.

The cover is made of. a main blank 10 adapted to fold downward at thefour sides asshown by dotted lines 11 and 12, these lines coincidingwith the lines of a bed to which the cover may e ap- .plied.v Near theends .the blank is out inwardly as shown at 12' to the lines 11, thusforming at the ends of the blank main flaps upper periphery '13 adaptedto turn downward overfthe ends of a spring bed, and corner flaps 14adapted to fold inward beneath the flaps 13 as hereinafter described."The corner flaps 14 are provided with buttonholes 15 near the outeredges as shown clearly inFigZ 1, and the flaps 13 are provided withbuttons 16 on their inner sides and near the outer edges as shownclearly in the second figure. A section 17 is adapted to lie along theinner sides of the cover ends, and this'section has an elastic portion18 preferably of elastic webbing. Near the nds the'section 17 hasbuttons 19 write outer side.

When :the cover is to be' adapted to a the sides are turned down alongthe lines12,

the corner flaps 14 are turned inward as shown in Fig. 3, and thesections 18 are placed inside the flaps 14, and the buttons 19 buttonthrough the buttonholes 15 which beef are at the extreme ends of thefiaps 14. The

flaps 13 are then turned down and the buttons 16 buttonedintothebuttonholes 15 which lie along the lower edges of the flaps 14.The coveris then complete, the buttons orfastenings do not show, and ithas the appearance of a complete permanent cover. The cover can be drawnover a bed as shown in Fig. 6, and in this case I preferably use a pad20 beneath the top of the cover, while the elastic elements serve todraw the .sides snugly around the spring bed.

, It will be und'erstood,of course, that while the buttons andbuttonholes are a simple and" preferred means of fastening the severalflaps and the section 17 together, still other forms of fastenings canbe substituted without affecting the nvention. It will also be noticedthat when the cover is taken apart it can be readily cleansed or washed,can be laid out fiat and easily -ironed, and again readily applied tothe bed. It will also be understood that the elastic elements 17 arereferred to as'at the ends of the cover, but

' this is simply for convenience in" describing the structure, and itwill be understood that hese elements and the-corresponding flapsOFFICE.- d

might be on any two opposed sides of e reotengulur structure like this,but they ere more conveniently placed at the ends.

It cleimzl. A. cover comprising e main blenk having end and corner flapsand adapted to turn down at the sides, adapted to turn beneath the endflaps, means for fastening the several flops together, and elastic meansconnecting the corner flaps.

2. A bed spring cover comprising a, main blank having corner flaps endmein flaps located between the corner flaps, an elastic elementconnecting the corner flaps when the letter are turned in, end means forsecuring the main flaps to'the corner flaps.

3. A bed cover com-prising e main blank adapted to turn down at thesides to form. the sides of the cover corner fieps forming extensions ofsuch sides, main flaps located between the corner flaps, elasticelements detachably secured to the corner flaps, and fastening devicesconnecting the lower edges of the main flaps with the correspondingedges of the corner flaps.
